Shotokan-kez Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Wow i am impressed! Our club held a dan grading on sunday. There were four people taking their shodan. One of these people being a 78 year old man! I thought he was brilliant, he didnt have to do the fighting as he is a little stiff with his age but he was very good and deserved the grade.Any of you guys got anyone of this age in their club still taking gradings? Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkennedy219 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Wow. Amazing. I'll have to tell my father-in-law about it. I've been trying to get him to join my class, but he insists he is too old. He's only 57! Why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL???

Rateh Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Lol, my mom says she's too old and she's 45. Really I think MA just isn't her style and so she states her age as a reason. Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. - Nido Qubein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
